"Overall, rabbitfish are quite undemanding in captivity and do not require any special type of tank or filtration. That being said, they do tend to grow to large sizes (the goldline rabbitfish, for example, can reach a length of 17 inches!). With this in mind, one should only attempt to keep a rabbitfish in a very large aquarium (certainly over 125 gallons) if hoping to house it long-term. "

If it truly grows to 17" (which several websites said its traditionally closer to 10") then even a 125g tank is too small IMO.

@Erin1971Texas when you first mentioned the size of the rabbitfish I responded with a laugh mostly because this was the type of image it brought to mind

If I keep buying corals I think my wife may leave.....then think of how much room I'll have for a bigger tank.
But you’re gonna have to build it out of plywood cause she’s gonna take all the $$$$$$

$1... I don't have words right now.
After using discounts and gift cards that I had saved up I only spent $180 before shipping on the whole order.
1 hammer, 3 torches, 4 montis, 5 gonis, and 13 acropora.
I’ve found that many of the vendors on R2R who have sale threads make it worthwhile to be active on their threads, and SBB is probably one of the best. He is incredibly generous to those that are active on his thread.
